Thousands shared stories telling us why they love football in a contest to win a trip to Super Bowl XLVIII. We chose 10 finalists. Now you choose the winners.

"I didn't feel like that on the field and after watching it, you know, it wasn't anything malicious, I didn't feel like," Locker said, per The Star-Ledger (Newark, N.J.) on Wednesday. "I kind of got bounced into the second guy. I didn't feel like they were out to get me, no."

That's not what we heard from Titans coach Mike Munchak, who said he had an "emotional" chat with the league office about the hit. No flag was thrown, but the NFL has a chance to weigh in this week with a fine if it agrees more with Munchak than his quarterback.

UPDATE: Well, it looks like the league has weighed in. Rapoport reported Thursday that Coples was fined $7,875 and Wilkerson was fined $15,750, according to people informed of the fine amounts.
